Intelligent Console For Stage Automation

The BW Console revolutionizes stage automation as the first integrated control terminal combining:

  • Industrial-grade motion control (0.1mm precision)

  • Built-in Pando 3D simulation (virtual-to-real closed-loop workflow)

  • Rental-optimized architecture (plug-and-play deployment)


Core Advantages

1. Virtual & Real Synchronization, "Debug in 3D, Execute with Confidence"

  • Offline Programming: Pre-visualize complex scenes in Pando 3D

  • Virtual Rehearsals: Test cues without moving physical machinery

  • Real-time Adjustment: On-site tweaks sync automatically with simulation

2. Tested Reliability

Feature Technical Benefit
Dual-mode E-stop Complies with EN 60204-1 Cat.0 (power cut) & Cat.1 (controlled stop)
Fiber-optic communication 2km+ interference-free signal transmission to BW-MC™ main controller
DMX512 integration Seamless triggering from lighting consoles (ArtNet/sACN optional)



The Ultimate Integration of Virtual Simulation and Physical Control
